The sellers have put an offer on somewhere, but it’s not yet tied up, and have viewings of other properties in the pipeline. I have chosen a local conveyancing solicitor in Lyndhurst. What do I do now? At what stage should I apply for the mortgage with Leeds Building Society?

It is normal to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses too early (home loan application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then valuation, Lyndhurst conveyancing search fees, etc). The first course of action is to check that your property lawyer is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. Regarding the next stages this very much dictated by the uniqueness of your transaction, desire for the property and on the state of the market. In a rising market the majority of buyers will apply for the mortgage with Leeds Building Society and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they ask their conveyancing practitioner to proceed with the conveyancing in Lyndhurst.

I have been on the look out for a flat up to £235,500 and found one near me in Lyndhurst I like with a park and railway links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 51 years on the lease. There is not much else in Lyndhurst in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?

If you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term may be problematic. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you may request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.

    It is important to be aware whether a new roof is being put on or some other major work is coming up that will be shared by the tenants and may well dramatically impact the level of the maintenance costs or necessitate a specific invoice. The best form of lease arrangement is where the freehold reversion is owned by the leaseholders. In this scenario the lessees have control and although a managing agent is frequently retained if the building is larger than a house conversion, the managing agent is directed by the tenants.
